Claude Terrail, owner of La Tour d'Argent, dies at 88Posted Jun 8th 2006 11:37AM by Joe DiStefanoFiled under: Restaurants, Poultry, FranceClaude Terrail, the owner of Paris' La Tour d'Argent, an eatery as renowned for its spectacular views as its Michelin rating and its A-list clientele, died last week at the age of 88.Situated atop a building across the Seine from the Notre Dame, the restaurant has entertained the likes of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Julia Child. La Tour d'Argent's signature dish, canard au sang, was invented long before Terrail inherited the restaurant. So special was this concoction of pressed duck enriched with duck blood, served with sliced breast and foie gras, that each serving was numbered. F.D.R. supped upon order No. 112,151 in 1929. Terrail had the pleasure of plating the millionth duck in 2003.
